The Introvert Thread

[DaChampIsHere]

Breh, look at your screen name, and the topics you talk about, the last person who should be criticizing anyone over ego is you. I can talk to everyone, it's a matter of choosing not to talk to everyone, that's what you don't seem to understand. That has nothing to do with ego or individualism, it's simply better for me not to waste someone else's time with false platitudes.

Society is fukked up beyond just individualism and ego, but your point falls apart without that so I know you'll ride that out for another 10 pages. My main problem has always been how selfish people are, you don't seem to be able to make the distinction between my disgust between people only going out for self, and why I have no problem with being introverted. They are not one in the same, but your brush has to paint broad because that's what you do.

You have an ego too breh, everyone does. Your's is apparent in this thread. All this "I only wanna talk about what I wanna talk about" reeks of some pubescent teenage phase y'all haven't passed yet. That phase teenage girls spend every minute arguing with their parents because "No one understand me "

Society is fukked up, but don't complain about it if you don't even wanna make yourself better. Again, you are just as selfish as the people you complain about, it's all through the thread.

i personally understand where champ is coming from

the sentiment is that acting as if a conversation must be "important" or "have a reason to start" is regressive because with that mentality you can shut out a people and opportunities that can have an important impact on your life.

In being an introvert, you can have a random person come up and talk to you and your first instinct would be just to say hi, and put your earphones back in or look away. For all you know though, that couldve been an opportunity knocking at your door.

I actually remember one instance where I was in the foodcourt of an office tower downtown I think for ScotiaBank. Anyways, a black woman was sitting down and I sat near her and she said hi after I settled in. I said Hi, and got right into my food. For some reason (i wish it happened earlier) I thought to myself minutes later, "shyt, for all i know this woman coulda been a human resources rep or a banker or something that saw a young black guy in office clothing and saw it as an opportunity to build a relationship and possibly help one of her own." This was of course after thinking that she wanted the dikk. Anyways, situations like that are where being a natural extrovert can be beneficial.

At the same time, there are situations where I'm sure extroverts may be considered annoying or overbearing. Too much of anything isn't good in my opinion. Theres always pros and cons so I dont see any as being better than the other. What's bad is those who arent willing to accept this fact.

Yeah man, that's all I'm saying. Especially when it comes to networking. Being an introvert will hamper you, and you'll miss out on opportunities your qualified for on paper, but not in person. You never know what people can do for you so always make the most of it.

Also, I think you'd all be surprised to know that a lot of people who you'd consider "extroverts", like quiet time as well, just not at the expense of social outings. I used to talk to a SOHH/Coli poster all the time and tell them about how I stayed up late (3-4 AM) just to get that quiet/personal time in.

A lot of "extroverts" do that. It just will not come at the expense of a social experience.

It's kinda like the equation for college: You can
1. sleep and study but not party/be social
2. sleep and party/be social, but not study
3. party/be social and study, but not sleep

Out of them 3 options, I'm choosin' not sleepin Most extroverts are

Why do these types of threads always end up turning into introverts and extroverts fighting each other?

I don't recall saying I didn't have an ego or even implying it, I did say you shouldn't be the one to talk about egos You're Pecasso with that broad brush breh, painting up a storm of abstract art.

Breh, I've probably done more volunteer work in the last 5 years of my life than you have with nothing to gain from it, while you probably do it to put it on your resume. Don't talk to me about society and "bettering" anything, have you ever stopped and thought I am so jaded because I actively try to help?

You just said a whole bunch of nothing and rhetoric that sounded good in your head, and when you read it, but didn't really say anything.

I've only repeated what's been said and agreed upon in here by introverts. "I'm not talking unless it's something I wanna talk about", "I don't see the need for you unless you can do something for me/business", etc. Those are egotistical, self-serving things to say. Don't get mad at me for what you agreed with.

Be mad at cha self

And see, the same "grand" train of thought you think extroverts have, is what you're doing now. You been thinkin' in your head for the whole response time about all the "great" things you've done. Stop trying to get into a "who's dikk is bigger" contest with me breh.

You don't know what the fukk I do. And I damn sure wouldn't bring such up to win an internet argument.

Don't use welfare of the good in expense breh.

That sounds like every post you have made in this thread.

Right, which is why even introverts have said they see merit in what I'm posting. :word:

Point out where I said that, just one time, you're straight up talking out your ass then going "Ah-HA!" at the shyt you make up. I don't agree with shyt other than what I am, you keep painting everyone with the same brush which is the point.

I know you're furiously typing up your next opus response, but look at what you said, and then look at what I responded to. Don't say some dumb ish and not expect a rebuttal, and there are no "wins" and "losses" columns on here, just truth and bullshyt. And right now, you're just talking a bunch of BS.

And I don't really care what you do breh, you in here wondering why I wouldn't want to talk to you though

I mentioned this in the extrovert thread, I don't know why they're making this shyt like a competition, everybody is different, the world needs both introverts and extroverts



Neither one is better than the other

You know why introverts are like "It's the way I am"? Because of people like YOU, who want to put everybody into a box, and don't understand that not everybody is like you, so they have to tell you, "Look. I don't want to go clubbing with you; I just want to stay in and chill. That doesn't mean I don't like you anymore, and that doesn't mean I'm not your friend. I just want to stay home tonight." Because as proven by the posts in both of these threads over the last two days, apparently many extroverts need to hear those exact words or you nikkas start taking that shyt personally.

And you have the audacity to say that INTROVERSION is self-centered? The entire point of every post you and all the extroverts have made in this thread is that you can't understand why we're not like you. Tell me THAT'S not self-centered.

How am I self-centered for pointing out that introverts are only thinking of themselves? Is it not the truth? Really the only thing you and I disagree on is if it should be an accepted behavior.

If I'm friends with an introvert, I'm already being understanding and adjusting just by maintaining the friendship. Does me going out of my way sound self-centered to you? But lets see you be the one to step out of your comfort box for once. Nope, that never happens.

I want to ask you guys a question. On the occasion that you actually want to talk about something or do something, how would you feel to be ignored? You're asking for your own behavior to be accepted when I don't think you would tolerate the same thing from someone else.

Being shy doesn't equal being introverted.

I wouldn't have expected you to write this after some of the misguided things you've written about introverts in previous threads. This is good.

Will you two stop posting? Neither of you has any idea what you're talking about, and you just keep confirming it.

Here's the thing: the concepts of "introversion" and "extroversion" are not absolutes. No one is 100% either 100% of the time.

Breh, don't even worry about it. There's no reason to keep trying to explain, especially after everything has been broken down and made clear in multiple introvert/extrovert threads (on here and the old board).

It's just jokes at this point

Exactly, I'm not in the extrovert thread, they are the way they are, and I am the way I am. I don't see anything wrong with being extroverted, yet you got a bunch of google Psychologists in here trying to say there's something wrong with being introverted.

nikkas simply cannot accept something other than what they know.
